Safety Louis Delmas has spent his entire career with the Detroit Lions, but that is partnership appears to be coming to an end.

According to Delmas’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus, via Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald, the Dolphins and Delmas are in negotiations,.

"Drew Rosenhaus said on his Sunday night segment on WSVN-Fox that he has begun negotiations with the Dolphins on safety Louis Delmas and should have resolution, one way or the other, in a couple of days."

Delmas was selected by the Lions with the first pick of the second round, 33rd overall, in the 2009 NFL Draft. The former Western Michigan Bronco was a star as a rookie, recording 94 tackles, two interceptions, a fumble recovery and nine passes defended as a rookie.

However, injuries over his third and fourth seasons derailed his progression.

Delmas played in all 16 games last season. He had 64 tackles, three interceptions, two sacks and eight passes defended.

The Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos, New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers also could show interest in Delmas.
